The best alternative dessert places in London

If you’ve got a sweet tooth that needs satisfying, London is most definitely one of the best cities you can travel to.

Why not enjoy a sugar overload in one of the best alternative dessert spots in London while enjoying an equally as decedent stay at the Montcalm Hotel London?

Ruby Violet

118 Fortess Rd, London NW5 2HL

This ice cream parlour already has some of the best flavours that you are likely to experience, but if you visit on a Friday or Saturday night, things get particularly delicious. All of the ice creams on offer are made using local, seasonal ingredients and at the weekend they are teamed with mini chocolate fondants and baked Alaskas. These bite-size puds are the perfect sweet treat for those who have a hole to fill but already filled up quite a bit at dinner time.

If you prefer your dessert with a kick you’ll be delighted to discover the range of inventive ice cream and alcohol pairings on offer. These are perfect for when you aren’t quite ready for the Saturday night fun to end. The hard shakes are a popular choice, and it’s easy to see why. With two scoops of ice cream blended with a choice of Russian Maxi Moo Moo, Tufnell Park honey and whiskey or gin, this is one dessert that you definitely don’t want to miss out on during a stay at one of our luxury hotels London.

Bubblewrap

24 Wardour St, London W1D 6QJ

If you’re looking for a pudding parlour that will give you the most Instagram-worthy sweet treats, this is the one. The spot takes its inspiration from 1950’s Hong Kong when, in order to avoid wasting broken eggs, stall holders created an egg-shaped iron machine and blended the broken eggs with milk and flour, all in the name of yummy waffles.

Here the Cantonese street food is served up in cones and is given a seriously tasty edge. While on other continents these types of waffles would usually be served plain, Londoners know that the only way to truly do waffles is to cover them in copious amounts of sweet toppings. Toppings on offer include Oreos, strawberries and salted caramel. With so many scrumptious options to choose from, we couldn’t think of a better way to end a weekend staying at the Montcalm Hotel London.

Basement Sate

8 Broadwick St, Soho, London W1F 8HN

Are you the type that gets peckish after a tipple or five? If so, this spot is definitely for you. Here you can sip on all your favourite classic cocktails and also indulge in some scrumptious desserts. Currently on the menu is apple cannelloni, strawberry bavaroise and a vegan pannacotta.
